Hi June,
I have been in touch with your sister Valerie re your family in Kilmeague over the last couple of years and she has helped with my research. The Eliza Spooner (married to Thomas) who erected the Headstone in Kilmeague was my GGGGrandmother, her daughter Harriette (1850 - 1920) , married my GGGrandad Adam Talbot (1832 - 1881). I was trying to get back to the generations prior to Thomas's father Robert (1793 - 1849), I think his father was called Thomas.
